bo

so i went to the doctors this morning about my shakiness and he's sending me for blood tests. fun. then i went to a car place to sort out my radio which wasnt tuning...turned out id pressed a button or something and all the guy did was press the same one and now it works. boy did i feel a fool! then this afternoon i cut out pattern pieces for a teddy bear and did this LO

its a bit of an odd one and im not 100 % sold on it but im sure it will grow. notelet, 'cute' tile and hamster strip from jan's qtea kit. also used pealescent acrylic paint and tiny heart stickers.

this bbc article made me chuckle. its about care homes using nintendo wiis to help people with dementia! brill!

spend

yup. had a spend. bought zelda for the wii, some skinny jeans, shoe boots and a belt from new look and some undies and a sailor style vest from primark. oh and my prescription. so on top of the £40 spent on stash yesterday, thats a lot of money gone in 2 days! oh well. worth it!!!

just found this ace knitting/crochet project on purl bee

very tempting!

also want this print by the blackapple. i think its really cute.

new cha

paper jam studio have some threads showing new CHA stuff. have a peek!

cute maya road chipboard houses! american crafts making metallic thickers and albums covered in cord and this beautiful paper!!

oh and ive added the envelope from jodie's RAK mail to my abc mini book

poor me

just been to the docs with my poorliness and turns out i have something called Labyrinthitis and have been signed off work for a week with anti sickness meds. great. and i have to go back thurs to find out why im so shaky at the moment.

woot!

yes woot! our internet works! it was very random, it just started to work again.

yesterday i got some lovely surprise RAK mail from jodie :) it was a bigger piece of the monkey fabric from january's qtea kit and some cool little stickies. it really made my day, thanks jodie!!

last night was supposed to be my third night at work, but i ended up coming home after 3 hours as i was unwell...i still feel rotten now, shaky and sick feeling.

hello!

quick update; i have no internet and havent since tuesday. we dont know why it stopped working and dont know how to get it back! so im at work doing a sneaky!

sneaks

the qtea sneaks are up, one for the feb kit

and one for the summer add on. i think i may have to get both!

just taken Tom to the vets. claws are clipped, flea stuff bought and apparently he's overweight. oh dear. diet food it is!! but i was also told he DOES have some oriental in him, which in my books makes him one posh boy!

and now my sewing machine has broken...the motor is whirring but the needle isnt moving. great. in the middle of a pocket as well!!

first, a pic from yesterday's dress session. so far, the bodice is almost done, pockets are ready and all other bits ready to put together.

not much happening today. got some chocolate fudge from an old fashioned sweet shop; dont you just love all the jars!!



also used my sewing machine for the first time today! yay! this was using fabric, lace and buttons from a qtea kit and was originally going to be a cover for a cheap photo album i have. but i got my measurements wrong and it's ended up being a pouch. but im pleased with it anyway!

woot me!

im a qtea guest designer for october! yay me! im so chuffed! miss jodie got july so congrats to her too.

im gong over to my aunts in a bit for the Great Dressmaking Session, so hopefully later will have some cool piccies.

Tom is going to the vets monday to get his claws clipped, thank goodness!

and thats about it here! a bit boring so far, but then it is only 948am!

here's another LO i managed yesterday using bampop, my new tape, jodie's buttons and some trim from the latest QTea kit

abc..

here's my 'abc' book as mentioned yesterday. really pleased with this one. used love, elsie for the cover with some of my new tape, and a crochet cherry from a previous qtea kit.

here's a couple more piccies of tom, settling in nicely
